When that drop down list is rendered, it might have the selected Value of 8. I can put the control in the watch and the value will be 8. However, when it gets rendered to the screen, it will go back to the default (0).

It does this for ALLL controls, except the TextBox - it gets rendered correctly.

Any thoughts?

I haven't change my code at all, and it used to work, and now it doesn't so I'm trying to get my mind back in this mindeset.

Thanks.

yes it is, thank you for reminding me to mark yours post as an answer.

Viewstate is a bit iffy with the way my control is created and how it is loaded. Though I don't use AJAX inside my control, the parent page will use ajax around it which sometimes messes with ViewState... especially seeing I dynamically create things like Cascading Drop Downs (Ajax control toolkit control) inside the composite control.

Thanks for the help!
